9. ok

Actually that seems pretty close to what I am.

At least the gnostics that I studied who were more about spirituality and not so much about "belief in God".


So - I'm a spiritual atheist/gnostic atheist/symbolic Goddess worshiper/whatever. I don't expect labels to fit.



on edit: now there's another one. :)

10. I think in this case Gnostic means has knowledge of
Gnostic Atheist is an Atheist who knows God doesn't exist - same with Gnostic Theist - one who knows God does exist.

Gnostics are interesting though.

19. I voted Gnostic Atheist
I consider myself Gnostic, not because I have knowledge of a deity, but that if god were to exist, we would be capable of having knowledge of him/her/it.

If god is incomprehensible, then there isn't any point in worshipping. But, I'm not crossing my fingers that evidence of a deity will surface any time soon.

17. Neither do I. And about that word "sectarian"...
I am just a normal, rational, person. I am not an atheist, or sectarian. I do not wonder or care about their weird jealous gods or perceived magic. It is the delusional and religious that are something weird and require labeling, not I.

20. Still flawed - atheism shouldn't be included on any poll titled "religion".
Atheism is not a religion.
